I have the vehicle listed above xlt model. I have just had the radiator replaced and after going for about an hours drive I had the vehicle in park and noticed that there is transmission fluid leaking out. I did not have any transmission leaks before the radiator being replaced. When trying to locate where the leak is coming from I can see a puddle at the front right at the radiator.

What could be the issue? What steps should I take? How much could this fix cost me?

Thanks

More then likely this is the transmission cooler or a line going to the cooler. Take a look at this process on how to replace it and you will see it is next to the radiator.

The way we need to inspect this is locate the lines and see if they are dripping fluid. If not, then more then likely it is the cooler itself.

Let us know if you have questions on this and we can go from there. Thanks
